Remove "tree->entries" tree-entry list from tree parser
This finally removes the tree-entry list from "struct tree", since most of
the users can just use the tree-walk infrastructure to walk the raw tree
buffers instead of the tree-entry list.
The tree-entry list is inefficient, and generates tons of small
allocations for no good reason. The tree-walk infrastructure is generally
no harder to use than following a linked list, and allows us to do most
tree parsing in-place.
Some programs still use the old tree-entry lists, and are a bit painful to
convert without major surgery. For them we have a helper function that
creates a temporary tree-entry list on demand. We can convert those too
eventually, but with this they no longer affect any users who don't need
the explicit lists.
